Historia
On a sunlit morning in September 1978, a sloop drifts aimlessly across the Chesapeake Bay. The cabin reveals signs of a struggle, and “classified” documents, live 9 mm cartridges, and a top-secret “burst” satellite communications transmitter are discovered aboard. But where is the boat’s owner, former CIA officer John Paisley? One man may hold the key to finding out. Tennent “Pete” Bagley was once a rising star in America’s spy aristocracy, and many expected he’d eventually become CIA director.

Angleton
Revisado: 06-11-24
I don’t know. If you spent much much time with this period of history and read all the accounts, especially those that are against Angleton, I don’t think this gives you any more doubts. Did we do better after we got rid of him? Was he the problem? This individual was a person of his orbit, and so does that suspicion linger? I don’t know. I think it confuses the picture even more. Is that what it’s meant to do? Seem too much like a personal vendetta as opposed to solid research and well written analysis as I’ve seen other accounts. Is that what they want? it’s spies with a penchant for duplicity. Not great overall.

Great Story
Revisado: 09-03-23
As others have said, the redacted portion is stupid, and does not add to immersion or the story.

Historia
The fifth book in the NYT best-selling Expanse series, Nemesis Games drives the crew of the Rocinante apart, and as they struggle to survive, the inner planets fall victim to an enemy's catastrophic plan.

Revisado: 08-08-23
You can’t find a better space opera/hard science fiction. Expansive stages, deep characters and brilliant political intrigue. I wish I could find more like it, nothing quite has this unique blend. Savor your first read through of these books! I’m on my 5th or 6th replay of these and it’s still just an incredible experience.

Historia
Discover the definitive history of DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency, in this Pulitzer Prize finalist from the author of the New York Times best seller Area 51. No one has ever written the history of the Defense Department's most secret, most powerful, and most controversial military science R&D agency. In the first-ever history about the organization, New York Times best-selling author Annie Jacobsen draws on inside sources, exclusive interviews, private documents, and declassified memos to paint a picture of DARPA, or "the Pentagon's brain".

Fantastic Exploration
Revisado: 08-03-23
A fantastic exploration of past, current and future DOD programs and research. So much of the Internet and many underlying technologies of the modern day have come out of ARPA. I can’t wait to see what comes out of the next 20 to 30 year’s. I wonder what positive impacts will manifest from tech that’s been I. The shadows for the past 10 years. This also doesn’t shy away from the negatives, and some of the terrible things that have been done in the name of the United States.

Historia
The epic and highly anticipated conclusion to the listener-favorite series that had countless Audible listeners (and employees) hooked from the very first Bob - featuring, as always, a flawless performance from the inimitable Ray Porter. Being a sentient spaceship really should be more fun. But after spreading out through space for almost a century, Bob and his clones just can't stay out of trouble. They've created enough colonies so humanity shouldn't go extinct.

Historia
When an experiment to study quantum uncertainty goes spectacularly wrong, physics student Bill Rustad and his friends find that they have accidentally created an inter-dimensional portal. They connect to Outland - an alternate Earth with identical geology, but where humans never evolved. The group races to establish control of the portal before the government, the military, or evildoers can take it away. Then everything changes when the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts in an explosion large enough to destroy civilization and kill half the planet.

Historia
Space is a world devoid of the things we need to live and thrive: air, gravity, hot showers, fresh produce, privacy, beer. Space exploration is in some ways an exploration of what it means to be human. How much can a person give up? How much weirdness can they take? What happens to you when you can’t walk for a year? Have sex? Smell flowers? What happens if you vomit in your helmet during a space walk? Is it possible for the human body to survive a bailout at 17,000 miles per hour?

Unexpectedly Funny
Revisado: 03-28-22
She tackles serious subjects with thoroughly researched material and personal interviews, all while depositing poo references and dad jokes. This is an example of science communication that is splashed full of fun! Also, very insightful on many of the less glamorous and often humiliating aspects of space flight.

Historia
This is a story that starts off close and goes very big. The initial part of the story might sound familiar at first: it is about a platoon of mostly 19-year-old boys sent to Afghanistan, and an experience that ends abruptly in catastrophe. Their part of the story folds into the next: inexorably linked to those soldiers and never comprehensively reported before is the US Department of Defense’s quest to build the world’s most powerful biometrics database, with the ability to identify, monitor, catalog, and police people all over the world.

Incredible Journalism
Revisado: 04-15-21
Annie paints a picture of a dystopian future driven by DNA, future crime prediction, and the reduction of a human to a digital, probabilistic value. Incredible research and storytelling has this prescient book sitting extraordinarily well in the spirit of the age.

Historia
Over the course of more than three decades as an American diplomat, William J. Burns played a central role in the most consequential diplomatic episodes of his time - from the bloodless end of the Cold War to the collapse of post-Cold War relations with Putin’s Russia, from post-9/11 tumult in the Middle East to the secret nuclear talks with Iran. In The Back Channel, Burns recounts, with novelistic detail and incisive analysis, some of the seminal moments of his career.

Revisado: 06-08-19
Sharply written and inspiring, this is a tale of highs, lows and triumphs in statecraft. The foreign service and diplomats are, unfortunately, not frequent headliners in the crisis obsessed media. Their contributions to averting crisis the world over have shone a bright light into some of civilizations darkest moments. Burns personal story is an inspiring and thoughtful journey around the world.
